Hmmm... bit grouchy this morning. So far this month we've had "Where's my flashy thing?", "Why can't I enter this photo even though it's clearly not related to the theme?" and now "Why can't the competition close on the same day each month?" Next month I guess we'll have "Why can't we use xyz voting system?", "Why has the competition closed before I entered my picture?" and "Can I enter this photo even though I clearly didn't take it myself?" *sigh*
So to be more polite, I don't know what I'll be doing at the end of each month so cannot guarantee to close it on the same day. I aim to close it, like this month, 3 or 4 days before the last day so that the poll can finish and a new theme can be chosen for the beginning of the next month. However sometimes I am away from a PC, sometimes I'm too knackered after work and sometimes I plain forget. Some months the poll didn't get started until the 1st or 2nd of the following month.
If you enter your photo by 5 days before the last day you will definitely be on time. But you've generally got over half a month so it shouldn't be a problem. And if you don't get it in on time - well it's only a free competition!
